Now here is my next challenge the Vacuum power cylinder
This pic shows the rusting I have inside the Vacuum power cylinder It is pitted pretty bad but I am slowly working it out with sanding and buffing.
Here is the cylinder that sticks out of the unit. Its supposed to have a rubber boot on it but its long gone. Now this is pitted and I am looking at possibly polishing it and then chroming it to make up the difference.
Im also posting some pics of the size of it just in case someone has one of these out there NOS or in better shape.
Thanks
Ken
